Kim found some cool vehicles at Romo, and shared some photos with me Thanks Kim!

 

I might be wrong but this looks like an airstream that's been undercut, built onto a trailer and then had the back 1/4 hinged... very cool



The silver car with 4 rear tires is 3 years old, styled like pre war Mercedes GP racers, and has a Ford V12 engine with a compressor.


the large LaFrance with the Hispano-Suiza airplane engine is street legal, and often gets taken out for leisure drives. Preferably when there's not too much traffic, the driver told me, because it tends to overheat when going below 50 mph.

Thanks Kim!

the Romo Motor Festival was this past weekend, similar to the Race of Gentlemen and the VHRA Pendine Sands speed trials, it takes place on an island off the coast of Denmark


the reason for the race falling so late in the summer is that the local councils would only allow it to be run when summer had passed and the beach would be quieter and less populated.

Konstabel Palm had some bad luck when his piston tore through the cylinder wall of his 1928 Harley Davidson JD, puncturing the tank and dumping its contents.


The resulting fireball scorched his eyebrows and left his hands blistered, but otherwise he escaped unscathed.




Thanks Kim!
